Quotes
Jean Piaget
“If you want to be creative, stay in part a child, with the
creativity and invention that characterizes children before they are deformed
by adult society.”
It is with children that we have the best chance of studying
the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical
knowledge, and so forth.
Friedrich Froebel
“Children are like tiny flowers; they are varied and need
care, but each is beautiful alone and glorious when seen in the community of
peers.”
“Play is the highest expression of human development in
childhood for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child's soul.”
Louise Derman-Sparks
"The preschool years are critical, they are the first
most fundamental period when children are in fact noticing who they are and are
noticing the attitudes and the stereotypes and the discomforts or the positive
messages about their skin color, their racial identity, their ethnic identity
and so on."
Hello Aldora,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking over the blog and reading your quotes. I really like the post from Louise Derman-Sparks(Multimedia Professional). Her quote expounds on the critical years of preschoolers. This is during a vital period where the brain develops faster. Also, the foundations for their social skills, cognition, self-esteem, morals and observation of things in the world are being established.
